Scientists are trying to determine what happens to matter when it is exposed to the immense pressures at the center of gas giant planets and stars. And to help them figure it out, they have hit a tiny ...

Imagine placing an object under a microscope and pressing a button to rearrange the surface atoms with atomic-scale precision. This once sci-fi scenario is now a reality thanks to pioneering research ...

Diamond has been subjected to the wrath of the world’s largest laser, which compressed the stone to greater pressures than it has ever experienced on Earth. The results hint at the mysterious ...

Although lasers based on diamond have been around around for several years, they have never been very powerful. That's beginning to change now as new CVD fabrication methods provide larger, and purer, ...

Ultrawide-bandgap semiconductors—such as diamond—are promising for next-generation electronics due to a larger energy gap between the valence and conduction bands, allowing them to handle higher ...
